What are the must have Magisk mod's ?

I just rooted my 3 XL, and have Magisk installed of course.
So what are the must have Modules on this new phone ?
- Is there a mod that allows me to "Swipe down Expand notifications" without installing a separate launcher like Nova ?
- Mod to give me back the old 3 soft nav keys ? The Back / Home / Recents setup?
- Best battery saver mod ?
- Greenify still needed for Pixel 3 type phones ?
- Mod to allow me to have separate volume options for Ringer and Notification sounds ?
Thanks

1. Not that I'm aware of yet except nova.
2. This mod with adb shell will give you the old nav bar back..https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3/help/how-to-remove-gesture-navigation-return-t3856560
3. Best battery saver mod is to let your phone learn your usage for a while, and keep track of any rouge apps you see.
4. I can't speak about greenify. Some like it, but I've never needed it on my P2XL. Can't imagine the P3XL will be much different.
5. You'll likely need a custom rom for that one.

How about mods for stock launcher to increase rows/columns and icon size?
Would rather keep using stock launcher (over custom ones) in order to use the native "swipe up" screen

take a look in the themes and mods section. there are mods you can flash available that will do that

The Edge Sense Plus app in the apps and mods section is great for changing the settings for the edge squeeze.

Question Nova launcher Problems and floating windows and other bugs

Hi I have a new poco F3 8/256gb and it comes with Miui 12.0.2 but I have problems with nova launcher, the buttons recent app doesn´t work and only shows a blanck screen without any of the app. I tried with Apex launcher with the same resul. Then the icon for floating windows only apears on the control center icon and not on recent app, so the usability is very poor. Another problem I have is the bar of gesture on the botton of the screen sometime disapears and sometimes not. I search on the net and a tried, developer option miui optimitation with no positive results, hope Xiaomi release a new update soon.

It's a problem with poco launcher that broke recent apps if you install another launcher.
See here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...12-2-2-4-eu-version-android-11.4215795/page-2
I have installed the new version and it's ok now for me with Microsoft launcher

It's not miui, it's android 11. when i was using mi9t with PE, no third party launchers work really well. lawnchair and shady launcher do release their alpha versions and it's usable, not perfect, but, yeah, usable.

Lawnchair Alpha doesn't work, it's the same problem. The moment you enable Lawnchair gestures are disabled.

I had the same issue on my F3 with Nova Launcher
Thanks to @stevejc, I just installed Poco Launcher v2.20.1.26 and got back the recent apps in Nova !

But I have also lost floating windows !

thanks to @stevejc for his answer I update the poco launcher and my nova works perfect but I still have no floating window options in a recent panel. anyone can help me with this?

The only working tip is to use the quick settings button for each app.
I don't have also the icon in recent panel too.

Full gestures don't seem to work for me if I use custom launcher only traditional Dock navigation bar works. Even if you still insist using full gestures restart brings back old navigation. However I tried this app it seems to make full gestures work? Restart old navigation does still return but we can continue use full gestures. Can anyone confirm? If it works more than just me I might buy it.

Pls ignore the app I recommended. When it works it works but it can suddenly stop working. I am going back to poco launcher until there is a fix or someone recommend a working gesture app.

I installed FNG for gestures with poco launcher

Does it work with custom launcher like nova? The FSG works for a while then stop

sorry I can´t confirm because a I use the poco launcher now

I got a reply frm an xda developer. He develop gesture app for earlier androids. He said he can't help us. So I am guessing other gestures might not fully work either?

Guys more of you need to submit feedback / bugs complain I get the feeling xiaomi will not fix the full gesture with custom launcher issue. This their respond despite telling them oneplus has no issue with nova on android 11. I got a oneplus 7t pro.

Hi I'm using microsoft launcher and the app my gesture and it'working.
You can turn off or not the nav bar with setup gesture on miui setup page.

You have any issue of it suddenly stop working? I did. Its same with all others I tried they can suddenly stop working if I don't have 3 dot at bottom it be an issue. Mygesture suddenly stop working according to app accessibility stop responding I need to restart. Turning accessibility on off for it didn't work only restart did.

You need to avoid stop the app in recent apps screen (first icon).
Also I give the app the Start automatically authorization and no battery optimisation.
I have the same problem if I kill the app but with the previous settings it's OK.
I can hide the nav bar, only after reboot they come again.
To hide them add gesture in Miui settings

I have managed to use nova launcher with gestures combining it with the FNG app to hide the navigation bar ... it is not the definitive solution but at the moment it is working for me, I hope this info is useful
SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH

Question Horizontal recent screen

Any1 know how to set the recent screen in horizontal mode ?
Just got the phone for 3 day performance wise it's good. But MIUI is buggy and counter intuitive.
Been using samsung One UI couple with good lock and the experience is very good.
Anyone is there any app/way to customize the recent screen and also the gesture ?
Thank you

I know that Miui 12 allows you to change the style in "recent apps" by following this path:
Settings - Home Screen - Arrenge Items in Recents - Horizontally
(I still haven't received my Poco F3 to confirm if that works on this device)
Another option, there is a module for Magisk Manager that leaves "recent apps" in the style of Apple iOS, called "alpha launcher mod miui", you just need to wait for the device to receive Magisk support.

How To Guide Launcher change

I have found a way around changing the launcher on REDMAGIC phones that I figured out, it is a bit of a process. This is what you have to do
Settings>Battery>Battery Usage>Tap on screen>Battery Optimisation>Tap on the three dots on the top right>Tap Default App Settings>Desktop (on the top)>select the launcher on the top.
And you're done, enjoy.
Notes: it is a bit buggy, sometimes when going to the desktop it would show the normal factory Nubia launcher, tapping the home button fixes it.
I have only tested this on the REDMAGIC 6 so I don't know if it would work on other phones. If there is a much more simpler way then please tell me

The Easier way is to go into applications and tap on the 3 dot menu and choose default apps. There you will see all of the default apps and you can change the launcher at the top. Im on the 6s Pro Cyborg

I was gonna say that but your reply sums it up.

How many hours of screen on time are you getting on your 6s pro and on which refresh rate? Do you observe any cons so far on this device? Does pubg work on 90 fps without any mods?
Thanks!

Thank you! Super helpful

Question [Navigation bar] Inverse back and recent button

I have just recently switched from a Oneplus 8T to Google Pixel 6 Pro. I'm having a horrific time getting used to gestures as for the past 7 years I've been using the on-screen navigation bar with the following order:
Recent apps - Home - Back.
On the Pixel 6 Pro I can also enable the 3 button navigation bar, but only in the inverse order:
Back - Home - Recent apps.
Does anyone know of a way to change the order? I'm guessing I'll probably have to root the device?
My muscle memory is killing me here. I'm also very stubborn, so I'd like to hang on to my old fashioned way of navigating if possible.
TLDR: How can I change the order of the 3 button navigation bar on a Pixel 6 Pro to:
Recent apps - Home - Back?

No way to change the order of nav buttons in settings. Most root and use navbarswap magisk module or there's a non root method at
Themes / Apps / Mods [1.0.5][Non-Root Mods] Rootless UI Mods in the theme section.​

Yup. Coming from a OnePlus 8 pro myself, I had to root to swap back and recent. Now, if only I can double-tap on back to open notifications......
